Newsweek has rounded up what we know about reports of around 70 Christians being executed in a church.

Summary

70 decapitated bodies were found in a Protestant church in Kasanga, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), reportedly the work of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist group linked to ISIS.

The victims were believed to have been taken hostage before being executed.

Authorities are investigating, and international Christian organizations have condemned the attack.

The DRC has faced decades of conflict, with violence surging due to armed groups like ADF and M23.
